Are you Breaking the Law Unknowingly? Don’t get Fined !!
It has been brought to my attention there could be many Members breaking the law unknowingly under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005. Under these Acts you have to produce a full audit and proof of how you dispose of your commercial waste this includes your teabags. It includes any Business even if you are working from home you have by law to produce audit proof of how you dispose of your commercial waste however small. You can not put it in your domestic bin. Currently if you can not produce the necessary paperwork you could get prosecuted through the Magistrates Court with a fine of up to £ 5000 or accept a fixed penalty fine of £ 300 for immediate settlement. Nottingham City Council are now enforcing this Law so make sure you don’t get caught out. There are a number of different suppliers that could solve your problem Veolia Waste Management telephone 01332-861900 or Nottingham City Council Waste Management 0115-9155555.

A-Boards Nottingham City Council
I have had phone call after phone call from very anxious and frightened members regarding Nottingham City Councils intention to put a ban on A-Boards. I have been asked what is the IBA’s view point on the subject and what if anything are the IBA going to do about it ?
There are some members that actually think without A-Board advertising it could be the final nail in their coffin in view of the current economic downturn and feel that Nottingham City Council are being totally incentive to the needs of businesses. It has been confirmed by some IBA members that in a last attempt to keep them from closure they have recently invested considerable sums of money in A-Boards to advertise special promotions to keep the wolf from the door. As one IBA member quoted “if I am stopped from this sort of advertising it will be the finish of us completely”
I personally am most concerned about the position as I do recognise it really could be the final straw that breaks the camels back for certain types of business. As a result of this very threatening situation I have already been in touch with Robert James – Traffic Manager of Nottingham City Council and also intend to contact key Councillors in order that the subject maybe discussed.
The letter dated 23rd June 2009 claims that business groups were consulted and the IBA were certainly not. The public document published on Nottingham City Councils website clearly states there was no consultation whatsoever with businesses !!
